VIBE CODING TOOLS & EDUCATIONAL CYBER GAMES

Daniel Card vibe-coded cybersecurity tools and educational games using AI (specifically GROK). These tools include a data visualization mapper for OSINT and attack surface mapping, SOC Chef (a collection of resources for security operations professionals), and an interactive timeline creation tool. He's also developed educational games like "Cyber Detective," "Attack the Net," and "Defend the Net" that demonstrate cybersecurity concepts from both attacker and defender perspectives, accomplishing in days what would have previously taken him weeks or months to develop.

WHY MFA IS GETTING EASIER TO BYPASS AND WHAT TO DO ABOUT IT

Phishing-as-a-service toolkits allow criminals to bypass common multifactor authentication (MFA) through adversary-in-the-middle attacks. These tools create proxy servers that intercept credentials and MFA codes between victims and legitimate sites. While traditional MFA (one-time codes or push notifications) is vulnerable, WebAuthn-based authentication (passkeys) remains resistant because credentials are cryptographically bound to specific URLs and devices.

SLOW PISCES TARGETS DEVELOPERS WITH CODING CHALLENGES AND INTRODUCES NEW CUSTOMIZED PYTHON MALWARE

Slow Pisces is a North Korean hacking group primarily focused on generating revenue for the DPRK by targeting cryptocurrency organizations. A new campaign associated with Slow Pisces involves reaching out to cryptocurrency developers and directing them to a coding challenge that involves a malicious repository that downloads and runs a malicious C2 server. If the victim opts for a Python interview, the malware is launched via YAML deserialization, whereas if they opt for a JavaScript interview, the malware is loaded via ejs templates.

HOW I MADE $64K FROM DELETED FILES — A BUG BOUNTY STORY

The author found and reported leaked secrets by scanning thousands of public GitHub repos for deleted files containing sensitive information. Using automation, they restored deleted files, searched for exposed credentials, and analyzed the Git history to recover secrets. This approach uncovered common causes of secret leaks, such as a lack of Git knowledge and accidental commits of binary files containing sensitive data.
